Hello fellow “everyday, ordinary, unassuming guru” seekers. These unassuming gurus always deliver the truth. They are not gurus if they are feeding you lies disguised as truths. Beware the charlatan, trying to pass himself off as a guru. You can feeeel the difference! Steve is interested in knowing more about the value of the truth (see below)

Hi Mr. White

I am taking a spiritual seminar and the leader keeps talking about the importance of truth. How does that work in practical life?

Any ideas? Thank you, Rob

Hi Steve

The truth teaches you what nothing else can teach – the truth. Believe nothing until it proves itself to you – then it has proven to be the truth. The truth will set you free from all of the misery that comes with false notions converted into useless beliefs. There are a lot of those around – a lot!

You have but one mind. What shall you fill it with – empowering truths or false notions and superstitions parading as truths? One content of mind has you soaring lofty mountain tops with the eagles while the other has you working hard at barely making it in life. The contents of your mind give you the steering wheel for your life. You decide which way the wheel turns – toward that which empowers you or toward that which disempowers you. The truth is always empowering.

T’is a damn practical thing to turn to the truth always when dealing with your daily affairs. What might be some truths that you might want to entertain as starters?

I am marvelously made. YES, YOU ARE, YOU ARE, YOU ARE!

I am destined to win at whatever I direct my mind to. WHEW, TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY!

I am here to reveal and share all that is good and beautiful about me. WOW, GREAT RAISON D’ETRE!

I am a rich and majestic child of Infinite Intelligence. WHAT ELSE CULD YOU POSSIBLY BE?

The above are greater truth starters because they place you in the right attitude before your day even begins. A right attitude gives right elevation so you can make the right choice from the options that are available in any situation.

Blessings and the best to you, Steve …. Rob

Hey folks

Teacher: Learn to use the truth wisely

Student: For what reason?

Teacher: So you can end your useless suffering

Blessings and love to all of you, Rob

PSDon’t work so hard at living your life, put more energy into living with the truth about you and life. Life will get a lot easier when you do that.

Hey you “ordinary guru seeking” tribe members – I love the spirit you bring to the blogsite. I thank you for that. It is spiritual work that we are doing. Can you feel it? Robin (below) inquires about it.

Hi Rob

I hear a lot of talk about us living in two worlds. Can you give me some clarity on that?

Thank you, I enjoy your blogs, Robin

Hi Robin,

Have you ever heard the statement – you can’t paint the exterior of your house, thinking it will make the interior look better. Well, that’s the case with you and me. If we spend all of our time working on the outside – working to make money, working to get that promotion, working to gain power in our community – it may give us worldly success, but the heart and soul are not impressed.

You live in two worlds – an outer and an inner, Robin. Give each world it’s proper due. If you give all of your time to your physical world, and little to your spiritual world, you will not feel satisfaction on the inside, and you will fall into depression.

I hope that helps you … blessings, Rob

Hey folks

What about you? What do you do daily to give your heart a feeling of inner satisfaction? Even something as simple as planting a flower garden can be spiritual work. If it feels good on the inside, it is.

Blessings & love to all of you, Rob

PSUnderstanding what brings you spiritual happiness offers you the opportunity for spiritual happiness.

Hello my fellow “ordinary guru” seeking tribe members. If you’re to be aware of those many “everyday gurus” that drop by to offer you an insight or tip for better living, you must remain awake to the moment. Melanie addresses this question of time (see below).

Hi Mr. White,

I could use some unassuming guru advice. I know you don’t think you are a special guru, so I turn to you as an everyday guru with my question. What does it mean to “live in the now”? I hear people say that often, but I am not sure what it really means. I love your answers. They are simple. That’s what makes them work for me.

Thank you and blessings to you, Melanie

Hi Melanie

This present moment- right NOW – is it. There is nothing else. Reality is happening right this instant, and right this instant and right this instant (right NOW and right NOW and right NOW). What you’re thinking and what you’re feeling and what you’re doing right NOW – that’s it. That’s your life, right there in that moment.

You cannot get lost in the past. You may think about the past, and you may think about it so intensely that it seems that you are lost in it. However, the truth is that you are thinking about it right NOW. And if you stopped thinking about it right NOW, your past would cease to exist for you.

It’s the same with the future. You may seem to get lost in your imaginings of how you want your future to be, but all of that imagining is happening right NOW. The moment you stop imagining about your future right NOW, your future ceases to exist.

Yesterday and tomorrow only exist in this moment because you are remembering the past or imagining the future in this moment right NOW. Confine yourself to right NOW – that’s where your power lies, Melanie. Choose to live fully right NOW and you will feel fully alive! And when you feel fully alive, you are omnipotent. Really!

I hope that helps.

Blessings back to you, Melanie … Rob

Hey folks,

What’s this got to do with you? There is incredible significance in living in the moment. Have you given it a try lately? Everything that happens to you happens right NOW. If you want to change things, you must work to change it right NOW.

Blessings & love to all of you, Rob

PSThe lopping off of yesterday and tomorrow leaves you with incredible power right NOW.

Hello fellow “ordinary guru seeking” tribe members. Sometimes it’s a virtue that a guru will help you to hone so that you may live more abundantly. Speaking of ‘virtues,’ Ellen poses a question about one (see below).

——

Hi Rob

My name is Ellen. I have emailed a couple of questions, but have not had them answered. Perhaps question number three will be my lucky one. This is an important one for me. It is about being patient. I feel when I’m patient, I’m anxious. Plus, I don’t seem to get anything from it. I don’t think I am practicing patience correctly. Do you have any tips?

Many thanks to you, Ellen M.

Hi Ellen,

Being patient is more than sitting anxiously, doing nothing. It’s about avoiding impulsive reactions and being willing to approach the matter with a new point of view.

Patience opens the door to creativity. You don’t demand answers and you don’t flee the scene. You stand where you are, calmly and curiously expecting some answer to come.

When you are patient you are able to observe the anxious motives and compulsive motions of your mind, and then you can rise above them. For it is at that elevated state of consciousness that answers come.

Imagine standing at the base of a ten-foot high wall, Ellen. All you can see is what’s on your side of the wall – right? What if you climb to the top of the wall? Now you can see what’s on both sides. Patience allows you to elevate your awareness (climb to the top of the wall), so you can see what you couldn’t see.

I hope this gives you a greater insight into the virtue of patience, Ellen.

Blessings to you, Rob

Hey folks

Stay where you are.
Be patient.
That changes where you are in attitude and mood.
That changes everything.

How might you apply this to your life?

Blessings & love to all of you, Rob

PSStudent: Why is patience a virtue? Teacher: Because it calls the bluff on impatience.

Hello fellow “ordinary, unassuming, guru seekers.” Here’s one more thing that ordinary guru’s do to help you – they think out of the box (out of your box of thoughts). By that I mean that they do not think about things as you do, and consequently they help you to have a fresh insight or two. Henry addresses this matter with his inquiry (below)

——

Hi Rob

I met you at one of your workshops. I still remember the breakthrough I had when you did some work on my issue with me. I have a lot to still work on, but my question is this – some of my problems persist no matter what I do to resolve them. What am I missing here?

Any tip would help, Henry

Hi Henry

There’s only one problem. All problems persist as a problem because of this one problem. That one problem is the thinking that you are using to resolve your problems. Your thinking is stale; it’s worn out; it has no clout. When you learn to see things differently, you’ve cleared the hurdle that stops you from solving all of those persistent problems.

Your usual thinking is mechanical, Henry. It is conditioned thinking. It is habitual. It’s nothing more than a pattern of thought-habits. Most folks turn to their habitual way of thinking about problems to solve them, and the problem with habitual thinking is that it does not offer new solutions. It simply tells us to do what we always did.

New thinking seeks answers beyond what your memory offers, Henry. If you always think what you’ve always “thunk”, you will always do what you always did, and that won’t “the problem” rid. Little humor there?

Do you get the point, Henry? Yup, you’ve got to learn to think outside of the box. You’ve got to inquire higher. It’s called “creativity.” You’ve got it. We’ve all got it. Unfortunately, we bury it when we become mechanical with our thoughts and reactions.

Blessings to you, Henry .. Rob

Hey folks,

NEW VIEW … NEW YOU … NEW LIFE. Can you see that? That is a truth that shall set you free from the old thee that has you living with the same problems persistently.

Blessings & love to all of you, Rob

PSYou cause yourself a lot of problems by not making the distinction between mechanical thinking and creativity.
